FAQ
Which layout is best for vegetable gardens?
Your location will determine the best layout for your vegetable garden. Plant vegetables together if your house is in a busy area. If you live in rural areas, space your plants to maximize yield.
What time should I plant herbs in my garden?
Plant herbs in spring when the soil temperatures are 55 degrees Fahrenheit. The best results are achieved when they are in full sunshine. Basil indoors can be grown in pots with potting mixture. They should be kept out of direct sunlight until they grow leaves. Once plants start growing, move them into bright indirect light. After approximately three weeks, transplant them into individual containers. Continue to water them as needed.
What should you do first when you start a garden?
Preparing the soil is the most important step in starting a garden. This involves adding organic matter, such as composted soil, grass clippings and leaves, straw or other material, to help provide nutrients for the plants. Next, you will plant your seeds or seedlings directly into the prepared holes. Then, water well.
How much space do vegetable gardens need?
It is best to remember that 1/2 pound of seed will be required for every square foot. For example, if you have a 10 foot by 10 foot area (3 meters by three meters), 100 pounds of seeds will be required.
